You may occasionally experience an interruption in service (due to a power
failure, etc.). During such an occurrence, you can continue communication by
using the Talk Around feature. Talk Around allows you to communicate directly
with other transceivers, without the use of a repeater. However, if the station you
want to contact is too far away, or there are geographical obstacles in the way,
you may not be able to contact the station.
Toggle Talk Around ON and OFF by pressing the key programmed as Talk
